Lateef ◊ 2012-11-20 23:08	A major disadvantage with HD

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2012-11-21 20:57	It was probably filmed "open matte" and then cropped to 1.85:1 for cinema screenings. I've read that, on 35mm, this is cheaper and easier than using anamorphic lenses to squeeze the image. -- Last edit: 2012-11-21 20:57:52
